I fell off over the past few years.<br /><br />That book sounds interesting, especially considering your occupation. My only rule of thumb for my monthly picks is that I try to alternate the type of book that I read each month. If I read a personal finance book one month, then I don't choose another personal finance book the next month. The next month I may pick a book on spirituality and the next month I may pick a book on personal/professional development and so on.<br /><br />Also, whenever I hear of a book or someone recommends something that sounds interesting, I automatically add it to my Amazon Wish List. I don't always buy the book from Amazon (I'm a library girl), but the Wish List provides a good location to store all of my book ideas.<br /><br />I have plenty of suggestions.

Right now I'm reading Birthing Justice, Black Women, Pregnancy and Childbirth. It's a great read.<br />Here's a little excerpt "Research on granny midwives documents midwives' role during the Transatlantic Slave Trade and post-Emancipation within black communities, illustrates how granny midwifery was not considered a true occupation because grannies lacked formal education and training, and discusses efforts employed to eliminate southern black midwives from birthing work in the early 20th century. Importantly, granny midwives had decades of experience birthing black and white children and taught many newly minted doctors how to attend births. In fact, black midwives successfully attended almost 80% of black and white births in the American South" I love this book it's so informative. Not sure what my next read is but definitely open for suggestions.Frankiegurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033207989210583433noreply@blogger.com
